Was supposed to ride with Owlie yesterday morning, but woke up feeling less then fit to ride, so begged off and stayed home. Felt a little better this AM, but still wasn't feeling 100% and waffled until I saw DH really wanted to go out (big puppy dog eyes), so I sucked it up and got ready. Just as soon as we got going my legs felt like they had lead in them and my breathing was irregular and short, even shifting to an easier gear didnt help much. I felt like I was riding into a horrible headwind, but looking at the trees surrounding me, I knew that wasn't it at all.

Some days your the nail... Some your the hammer.

DH had an unclipping malfunction and toppled right over in the parking lot next to the car (after the ride)-- bent the bars and torn up bar tape... All easily fixed, but glad it wasn't me!
